"I think the important thing to retain through life is optimism. It doesn't have to be something that you necessarily get from Christianity."
-- Adam
@U2 Originals: June 2014
July 02, 2014
Here at @U2, one of the things we're most proud of is the original content we provide, created exclusively by our staff. In case you missed any of it in June, the highlights are posted here:
In our weekly Off the Record column, Matt McGee shared his favorite U2 workout songs, while Sherry Lawrence contemplated what may be currently inspiring the band. Later in the month, Tassoula E. Kokkoris asked fans how they cope with their U2 withdrawals and Becky Myers reported on Bono's latest award for his involvement with the (RED) campaign. Aaron Govern closed out the month commenting on the notorious Negativeland-Casey Kasem-U2 recording in light of Kasem's passing.
One of our newest staffers, Drew Rogers, shared his first "Like a Song" essay about "Ordinary Love."
And last but not least, the spring edition of Achtoon Baby by Kelly Eddington suggests that Bono may need an intervention.

Frank Lautenberg To Replace Robert Byrd As Appropriations Subcommittee Chair
Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) will head the powerful United States Senate Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, replacing Sen. Robert C. Byrd, who died yesterday.
In a news release on the subcommittee's website, Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI), the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced the appointment.
On his website, Lautenberg said "it is an honor to follow the legendary Senator Robert Byrd in leading this subcommittee and carrying on his work to protect our country."
Providing for the safety and security of our families, communities and the economy is my first priority and the most critical responsibility we have in Congress.
This subcommittee is particularly important to New Jersey, which is home to the most at-risk two miles in America for a terrorist attack, and families in my state will never forget the horror of September 11, 2001.
I look forward to leading this subcommittee and advancing America's homeland security infrastructure

For 2016 a new Rally Edition joins the lineup featuring a stiffer suspension, RAYS lightweight alloy wheels and a B&M Racing sport shifter. A new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is available on turbo trims, while all Velosters feature a revised hood and grille design, available Siri Eyes Free and upgraded interiors.
After the introduction of a turbocharged model and the sharp-looking RE:FLEX model, the Veloster carries over with only a handful of changes. Automatic climate control is now part of the Technology package, and the Style package adds 18-inch wheels.
A new Turbo R-Spec trim is added. The R-Spec brings unique visual elements, a B&M short-throw shifter, red leatherette bolstered cloth seating, enhanced suspension and steering tuning, and the lowest price point in the Turbo lineup. New features for the Veloster Turbo include torque vectoring and Active Sound Design in-cabin sound enhancement, while automatic climate control is added to the options list. The base Veloster gains a rearview camera, a driver's blind-spot mirror and daytime running lights.
2013 marks the introduction of the Hyundai Veloster Turbo, a more powerful version of the Veloster, which remains in naturally-aspirated form. In addition to the souped-up engine, the Veloster Turbo features unique front and rear styling, bigger wheels and more standard features, including leather seats. Hyundai's first use of a matte gray paint will also see its debut on the Veloster Turbo.
The 2012 Veloster's stylish looks and odd three-door arrangement are likely focal points, but fuel economy numbers up to 37 mpg on the highway and a price tag that undercuts all of its key competitors are also worth noting.
The 2016 Veloster from Hyundai delivers coupe-like styling in a vehicle nearly as practical as a 5-door wagon. Like any good coupe, the Veloster features a long driver's-side door. But move to the passenger side and Veloster parts ways with its coupe brethren, fitted with two smaller doors that allow rear-seat passengers to get in and out more easily. Hyundai's brilliant design team has integrated this 3-door design into the car's sleek styling so unless you look close, you'd be none the wiser. The Veloster's sporty good looks are backed by an available turbocharged engine and a number of enthusiast-oriented trims, including a new Rally Edition aimed squarely at undercutting the Volkswagen GTI, Honda Civic Si and Ford Focus ST.

I owned and sold this car
Reason: lease ended
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"I drove the Veloster Turbo for 3 years. It's a good size car if you're the only person driving in it (which was perfect for my needs). You can't fit adults in the back seats unless they are petite adults, and my 6 ft husband was too big to comfortably fit in the passenger seat. The only downside to the car is that I found it hard to get in and out of the car, and it has poor rear visibility. The cargo space is enough to fit groceries, but sometimes I wished it was a bit bigger. I like that it's zippy and fun to drive, and can accelerate quickly when you need to. I like that it has a sporty body style. You can definitely feel all the bumps in the road, I would't call it a smooth ride but it didn't bother me. When I first got the car there was an issue with one of the speakers, but the dealership fixed it for free. I never had any mechanical problems."

Pros: "Price, Looks Great, Sound System, Tech Gadgets"
Cons: "No express down for passenger,"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I love this little car. I traded my 2011 Genesis coupe for a 2012 Veloster. Quality issues plagued the Genesis but the Veloster seems to be solid and better built. It is fun to drive and is fully loaded. If you can afford it take both packages, style and tech. You will have everything available including the beautiful wheels that have body colored painted inserts. Although it is not as fast as the Genesis was, it does fine under all driving situations. I chose a manual transmission because with engines this small, it gives me the option of fuel economy or acceleration. 6 speed tranny shifts smooth and reverse has a back up camera the displays on the GPS. The Sound System is great and works seamlessly with an iPod. Just a couple of very small things that I would have liked on this car. It does not have a passenger express up and down window. I would have liked turn signals on the mirror and a LED light for the alarm. If you do not like strangers walking up to you at gas stations, grocery stores, etc, this is not your car. Mine is blue with style and tech packages and I cannot get out or in this car in public places without someone asking me about it. Great Job Hyundai."

In October 1986, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met for a forty-eight-hour summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. Originally intended as a short, inconsequential gathering to outline future talks, the meeting quickly turned to major international issues, including the Strategic Defense Initiative and the possibility of eliminating all nuclear weapons. With both men at the height of their power, they had the rare opportunity to move towards disarmament and peace in a way neither side had predicted.
In Reagan at Reykjavik, former Reagan arms control director Ken Adelman offers a dramatic, firsthand account of the historic 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Iceland – the definitive weekend that was the key turning point in the Cold War. Adelman provides an honest and up-close portrait of President Reagan at one of his finest and most challenging moments.
Ken Adelman served President Reagan as Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and accompanied the President at three superpower summits, including Reykjavik. He has also served as the Deputy U.S. Ambassador the United Nations and as Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. After leaving government, he taught at Georgetown University, George Washington University and Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of several books, including Shakespeare in Charge and The Defense Revolution.

Ratings for Dr. Michael J. Orris
Dr. Orris is the most amazing doctor. I had my surgery done in 2007 and have never regretted a day of it. I can not say enough about Dr DeBarros and Dr. Orris and Mike Murphy RD and staff, they are very caring and want you to succeed in your weight loss journey regardless of what surgery you have done there (Lapband, Gastric Bypass, Sleeve). I had the lapband done and I still go in on occasion to follow up or just to show them how well I'm doing. I am treated like family and if I have any questions or concerns they are more than willing to help and go the extra mile for me. I will continue going there and suggest that anyone thinking about weight loss surgery go there and check them out, you will not regret it.
Dr Orris and his staff were great to work withthrough this entire experience. With every issue I had they helped me tackle it head on. I had my surgery in April and have already loss over 30 pounds. I feel fantastic. Thank you Dr Orris.
Dr. Orris and his staff are amazing. I love them all
For many years I have tried and failed to lose weight so in desperation I decided to turn to weight loss surgery. After doing some research online I decided that Weight Loss Institute Of Arizona was right for me. I met with Dr. DeBarros and Dr. Orris at my initial consultation. They were both friendly, professional, answered all of my questions, and alleviated any concern I had about the procedure. I was very satisfied with the care that I received and am greatly looking forward to my procedure.
Dr. Orris and his staff have helped me get my life on a new path that will be the only path I walk for the rest of my life. I am getting healthy and will remain healthy with their support. They walk through the weight loss journey with you and continue for years after. I had the sleeve 4 weeks ago and am down 27 pounds!
Awesome Doctor, very personable. He helps you to understand what is really going on with your help. he gives you the tools to succeed the rest is up to you.
Dr. Orris is a life saver. He helped me to learn to change my lifestyle to achieve my weight loss goal. Him and the staff at his office are very friendly and professional . I would recommend him to anyone needing help to loose weight .
Very nice and takes the time to explain things. Great staff and several locations makes it easier to get to.
I've been coming to WLIAZ for the last two years and i couldn't be happier. Everything has been easy peasy. Mike and Dr. Orris have been very reachable and make me feel like I am not just a number. Also, the staff have been so professional and kind. Thank you!
I was nervous to get the surgery done, but after talking to Dr. Orris he made me feel very comfortable. He was able to answer all of my questions and made it an easy transition. I cant wait until I have my surgery!

Complete title: More Drilling in U.S. is A Problem, Not A Solution to Creating Jobs, Says Democrat Member of House Labor Subcommittee
(CNSNews.com) -- Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) said that increasing oil drilling off the coast is a problem, not a solution to creating jobs in the United States. Andrews recommended that House Republicans bring legislation to the floor if they think more drilling will create jobs.
VIDEO 2:25 minutes
Appearing at a press conference with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) on job creation, Rep. Andrews said, I agree with my colleague and friend that drilling for oil off the coast is a problem, not a solution, but lets get back to the main point here that if the Republicans really believe that was really a job-creating idea, why dont they put it on the floor?
Andrews, the ranking member of the House Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee, continued, I mean, walking into this room and having a discussion about it is one thing, but were in the minority. We cant get our ideas on the floor but they can. So if thats such a great idea, they ought to do it. I wouldnt vote for it because I think its a poor idea. But it says what they think of the idea if they dont put it on the floor.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of the House Budget Committee, said there would be no immediate reduction of gas prices from more drilling.
We need to be reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and, in general, specifically, we need to reduce our dependence on oil, foreign oil. But adding to our dependence on fossil fuels is not the answer, she said.
We need to be taking a long-term view, she said. Its been proven over and over again that there would no immediate return on a reduction in gas prices or a significant expansion of our energy resources by beginning drilling for more oil right now -- and that to me is not the real responsible way to explore creating jobs.
Wasserman added, Its just another example of how they [House Republicans] can have all the press conferences they want but they still have no legislation that would create jobs not even that.
According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the total proved reserves and technically recoverable amount of oil in the United States, as of 2009, was 164.6 billion barrels. The United States consumes about 6.8 billion barrels of oil each year (of which about 60 percent is imported).
As for natural gas in the United States, the CRS report, using data from the federal Energy Information Administration, shows there are 1,407.4 trillion cubic feet America consumes 22.74 cubic feet of natural gas per year.
As for coal, the report shows that the United States has a technically recoverable amount of 261 billion short tons; the country consumes about 1 billion short tons per year.
Not counting technological advances in locating new deposits of fossil fuel and discounting any imports from other countries, the United States by itself, given current demand, has at least enough oil for 24 years, enough natural gas for 62 years, and enough coal for 261 years.
Those numbers do not include new deposits of fossil fuels that may be found in the future and as technology advances. Nor do the numbers include the estimated worldwide reserves from selected nations (Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Venezuela), which total 1.3 trillion barrels of oil; 6.6. trillion cubic feet of natural gas; and 930 billion short tons of coal, according to the CRS report.
When those fuels are converted into one source of measurement, such as barrels of oil, says the CRS, then worldwide reserves from those six nations equal 5.7 trillion barrels of oil.
On a related note, potentially recoverable reserves of oil from shale an expensive and currently cost-prohibitive operation are estimated to be between 800 billion and 1.38 trillion barrels in the United States alone, according to the CRS report. These recoverable reserves not counting imports -- could potentially meet current U.S. demand for oil for another 147 years.
Michael W. Chapman contributed to this report.
Asking a din-bulb-crat about anything technical is about like asking the Obamaloon to give a speech without the Loon-O-prompter.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Where do they find these complete IDIOTS?
Anwar isn't underwater. Let's get started!!!
More Drilling in U.S. is A Problem, Not A Solution
Wrong, Dumbass!...
More Wingnut idiots like you in the U.S. is the problem!
These people are truly juvenile imbeciles................
i like newt gingrich on this issue. he said on hannity last night that we could drill enough of our own oil to get gas back in the 2 dollar range
Mr. Andrews, do you know the answer to this simple math problem: 2 + 2 = ?
OK. How about this...correct this sentence: "I aren't likely to be buying a garden hose soon?"
Oh gosh, too bad.
Its increasingly obvious the "problem" is
"Senator Any Body (D)" and "CongressCritter Some One (D)"
Doesn't require an Ivy League diploma to understand THAT one...
I guess these idiots think that oil wells get drilled and maintained and run by themselves? The fact is that opening up drilling and production operations would create THOUSANDS of high-paying union jobs, not to mention many other jobs in the supporting industries and fields.
The arrogance to even think the federal government should be creating jobs in the first place! Get out of the way, jerks, and the private sector will do the rest!
So the Democrats think drilling is a problem??? What exactly are we going to use for energy if natural gas, oil, coal, and nukes are out????? I'm telling you, the left won't be happy until the human race is decimated. What's left they'll have living in small, dark, cold cubicles eating nutri-paste and sipping tepid water—all in the interest of saving the environment. Politicians and government bureaucrats will be exempt of course.
These folks are either certifiable, pure evil or BOTH! These people have NO RIGHT whatsoever to be making these kinds of decisions.
Communist traitors. Enemies, all of them.
These fossils should be able to relate to fossil fuels.
Pray for America
These democRats are real idiots.They would prefer to see hundreds of billions of U.S.dollars going to unstable middle east governments that hate our guts.
Wham Lame Brains they are.
At a certain point we need to wake up and realize that this is being done with malice and deliberation.
We need to be taking a long-term view, she said. Its been proven over and over again that there would no immediate return on a reduction in gas prices or a significant expansion of our energy resources by beginning drilling for more oil right now -- and that to me is not the real responsible way to explore creating jobs.
I sometimes wonder (quite seriously) if they are drunk or just think we are all stupid.
Dweeb Ignoramous maximus...does this mean we can drill in nancy pelosi's head? Ah, I'm sure its dried up...
No oil in there. Just gas....................
Right . . . the Rat energy plan has worked so well. . . . /sarc
The only way for D-idiots to maintain power is to expand the permanent underclass.
Thus they endeavor to kill jobs, kill industry, make the citizenery weak and helpless.
Those that are not under their yoke are going to put them in the dustbin of history.
Please don't post anything about that shrew, biotch Wasserman-Schultz during lunch time. She is one of the most annoying, shrill, ugly yentas that I have ever seen.
North Dakota has about 3% unemployment right now.
North Dakota???!!!!
And just why is that?
Because they are drilling and producing. NO OTHER REASON!
These two idiots are truly amazing....they despise America and they have to be pounded into oblivion (politically speaking).
Makes me wonder how much Soros pays these guys.
"Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) said that increasing oil drilling off the coast is a problem, not a solution to creating jobs in the United States."
Tell that to North Dakota, idiot.
Gee let me get this straight...if American companies drill for oil off the coast of America, using American workers and the oil goes to American refineries and is distributed to American consumers this is bad and costs American jobs. However, buying oil from foreign countries where it is drilled by foreign workers, transported in foreign ships and sold to US refineries at prices set by the OPEC cartel this is good and somehow adds jobs to the US economy. Is this the Twilight Zone or Bizzaro World?
I just called his office and told his staffer that I will support whomever is running against him in 2012.
This is why the Moonbats needs to be cleansed from office.
I just heard on Rush today that the US granted Petrobas the ability to drill and have an underwater storage container for oil and gas that THEY WILL NOT GRANT TO US COMPANIES.
This is utter madness.
Dopey Debbie strikes again. If we had started drilling 10 years ago we would be well into production and job creation. However, the job-killing machine known as the Democrat Party has been dragging out this tired, old argument that it would take years to get new drilling into production THAT IF WE HAD JUST DONE IT INSTEAD OF BEING BLOCKED BY THE DEMOCRATS IT WOULD ALREADY BE PRODUCING OIL!!
"Idiocracy" is coming true
How did we get people this stupid in charge?
Stupid people voting for the feel-good words.
Tou would thing there woul dbe a FEW democrats who could be made to understand that very soon we could have a population not worth leading. But every single one of them seems to be a flaming libtard.
The presumption of the the two Dims is that legislation is required to create jobs.
Yep, they just don't come any dumber than that.
Those two idiots and their Rats controlled Congress the last two years, they should have legislated the country out of unemployment instead of throwing hundreds of billions at the problem that didn't work.
We've also heard people speak of our "addiction" to oil, an assertion I find particularly offensive. I don't think that in the case of petroleum, "fossil" is applicable.
'.......she said. Its been proven over and over again that there would no immediate return on a reduction in gas prices or a significant expansion of our energy resources by beginning drilling for more oil right now —..."
IIRC G.W.Bush once upon a time opened up serious discussion about drilling oil, and the prices dropped overnight.
Does anybody else remember that one?
Tell this to the people of North Dakota.
I remember though don't remember how much it dropped, seems to me it was considerable?
"America consumes 22.74 cubic feet of natural gas per year." Million? Billion? Trillion? I alone produced more than 22.74 cubic feet of natural gas after a recent visit to Taco Bell.
"....seems to me it was considerable?"
IIRC yes. Considerably. Enough to jog the memory this way means it was a pretty good drop I would think.
Just build a couple new refineries. Shovel-ready jobs right there.
And if they could find some way to use demoncrats as landfill, there would be something useful for them too.
heh heh heh
You're a living petro chemical plant.
I believe that's billion cu ft.
Good question. Have the Republicans put anything worthwhile on the floor this year?
Well, naturally...Petrobras is Georgie's outfit.
(HINT: It's because of oil drilling!)
bull cookies.
Maybe it is different in the downstream end of the industry, or offshore, but not so on land.
Besides, if the AFL-CIO had their paw in the till, you know the Democrats would be offering subsidies.

A number of proposed and/or demonstrated approaches to video distribution on fiber are highlighted. Each of the architectures described embodies a different combination of delivery mode, degree of fiber utilization, transmission format, and multiplexing technique. The various approaches typically rely on different classes of technologies and can result in different service capabilities. Since available technologies and service demands generally evolve with time, the architectures are presented in an evolutionary manner, beginning with those that appear technologically and economically feasible in the early 1990s, and ending with more sophisticated techniques targeted for the late 1990s and beyond. For each time frame, key technology and system issues are stressed, as well as limits and driving forces that may trigger evolution to later, more advanced architectures. The key design considerations that are common to all of these approaches and the factors that will ultimately govern the pace of evolution from one class of architectures to another are summarized.<>

REDWOOD SHORES, CA and READING, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/12 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- Research released today from Oracle has revealed that customer experience is now a key driver for revenue growth in Europe, and an effective channel for brand differentiation in a globalized economy where products and services are increasingly commoditized.
- The research report, "Why Customer Satisfaction is No Longer Good Enough," reveals that 81% of consumers surveyed are willing to pay more for superior customer experience. With nearly half (44%) willing to pay a premium of more than 5%.
- Improvement of the overall customer experience (40%), providing quick access to information and making it easier for customers to ask questions (35%) were cited as key drivers for spending more with a brand.
- The pan-European research, carried out in June 2012 by independent research company Loudhouse, surveyed 1400 online shoppers (50% female, 50% male) who had made a complaint or enquiry to a customer service department in the last 12 months.
- For full research findings please go to: http://bit.ly/UwmB3j
Research Highlights
- Benefitting from churn: In addition to driving new revenue growth, a good customer experience is also essential to protecting existing revenue channels. Seventy percent of respondents have stopped doing business with a brand following a poor customer experience. Importantly, 92% of this number have gone straight to a competing brand and made a purchase. With fewer than a quarter of consumers (22%) nearly always satisfied with their customer experience, there is a clear opportunity for brands to improve customer service to win market share from competitors.
- Drivers for revenue growth: The survey has indicated steps businesses can take to benefit from the opportunities provided by a positive customer experience. Respondents said that the top five changes to customer experience that would lead to them spending more money with that company are:
- 40% - Improvement in the overall customer experience
- 35% - Ensuring questions can be asked easily and information accessed before making a purchase
- 32% - Adopting an easy return policy
- 26% - Improving the overall website usability and search functionality
- 20% - Providing customers with a more tailored/personalized shopping experience
- Brand loyalty: Eighty-two percent of respondents describe their experiences as requiring too much effort, suggesting that brand loyalty is closely linked to ease of communication. Respondents listed having to use different methods of contact to resolve an issue (26%) and using different methods several times (24%) as the point at which dealing with customer service requires too much effort. Businesses wishing to benefit from the revenue implications of providing a good customer experience therefore need to focus on making their customer interactions as simple as possible.
- Social media: The research also revealed that many organizations are failing to make the most of the customer experience opportunities available to them through social media channels, with only 46% of respondents claiming to have received a reply from a company after posting a comment. The research indicates that 29% of these became angry when the response failed to resolve their issue.
Supporting Quotes
- Danny Rippon, CRM Business Solutions Director, Oracle, said: "Our report has made one thing absolutely clear: getting customer experience right can help increase revenue and win customers away from competing organizations. By creating a consistent and connected experience across all points of customer contact -- including the increasingly important social channel -- businesses can clearly differentiate themselves and build priceless brand capital. As an absolute fundamental, businesses must ensure that their customer experience systems can support fulfillment and service to the extent demanded by consumers, while at all times making it as simple as possible for them to interact with the brand. This is the key both to winning new customers and retaining them for the long-haul."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Season 3's finale marked another multi-part arc, this time a 3-parter that notably has the words "The Big" at the beginning of each title. As we remembered at the end of season 2 (aka vol. 2), Shredder and Krang's giant mechanical moving fortress, the Technodrome, escaped Dimension X, only to wind up being buried in the Earth's core and left low on power, thus keeping it from escaping its prison. The past season focused on the bad guys trying to find an energy source to restore it to its full strength.Read more ›

Episode #128: Leonardo hears a distress signal and goes to investigate it. When the other Turtles return, they think that Leonardo was kidnapped! (Turns out that Leonardo heard the distress from a trio of dinosaurs, whom later befriend him.)
Meanwhile, Krang has his most devious scheme yet to take the Technodrome out of the icy Arctic. He plans to turn the Earth on its axis, causing the polar ice caps to melt and causing a huge climate change! When Shredder gets word that Leonardo is missing, he uses Bebop as a decoy to lure the other Turtles into a battle while he and Krang build their new Hyper Thruster to execute their evil plan. But as always, the T.M.N.T. is one step ahead of the nefarious villains and manage to stop them once again.
Episode #129: Tired of the Technodrome being trapped under the ice, Shredder and Krang launch their ultimate plan to free themselves -- by launching a new satellite Super Laser from NASA. Krang distracts the Turtles by enlisting General Traag's help. He uses his Rockalyzer to turn rocks into his fellow minions. While the T.M.N.T. deal with that chaos, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady break into NASA to attach the remote control to the satellite so that Krang can control it from his Technodrome.
Once the T.M.N.T. make work of General Traag's rock minions, Krang quickly sends him back home before the Turtles have a chance to capture him! But it's not over yet -- Krang uses the satellite's Super Laser to free the Technodrome, which he finally manages to accomplish. So what can the Turtles do now?!Read more ›

Crosby's return shifts the East
BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The anticipated Thursday return of Sidney Crosby impacts two opposing franchises more than any others -- the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers. Pittsburgh has suddenly pulled within four points of the stumbling Rangers while the Flyers have been battling to keep pace in the Atlantic.
But in speaking with general managers of both teams, it's clear the bigger picture is the focus rather than what it means to their franchises. The bottom line is that the league is a better place when Crosby is playing.
"The fact that they're adding Sidney is good for the league," Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said. "It's good for them. It doesn't change the fact that we have to play them three times and try to win."
Said Rangers GM Glen Sather: "He's a great player. It's great for the league. It's great for Pittsburgh. He's the best player in the world."

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyA first novel with strong autobiographical overtones, this fledgling effort needed more capable editing to achieve its potential. Although Shapiro shows promise as a writer, too often she falls victim to overwrought, self-indulgent prose and a myriad of cliches. Narrator Lucy Greenburg, the blond, blue-eyed offspring of an Orthodox Jewish family that boasts a long line of revered rabbis, immediately falls under the spell of her Smith College roommate, a quintessential WASP. Carolyn Ward is beautiful, enigmatic and controlling; Lucy idolizes her finishing-school poise and perpetual tan, which Carolyn maintains by mysteriously disappearing from Smith for weeks at a time. She also awakens in Lucy a feverish sexual longing, which Lucy sublimates with a passion equally as strong--an affair with Carolyn's stepfather, construction tycoon Ben Broadhurst. Ben's influence gets Lucy a screen test, a career as a TV commercial model and her first movie. But the end of her dissolute life as Ben's mistress, a dramatic announcement by Carolyn (the ostensible plot bombshell has been telegraphed to the reader early on) and a family tragedy leave Lucy bereft of dreams, sadder but wiser at 22. Flashes of talent enliven Shapiro's often bathetic prose, especially when Lucy evokes the members of her religious family. This novel will probably fare well commercially, but one expects Shapiro to write a better book next time. (June)
Editorial Reviews
Library JournalWith situations that modernize some classic themes, this first novel is a moving, heartfelt tale of family, friendship, love, and maturity. Reminiscent in some ways of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited , the novel takes Lucy Greenberg from naive adolescence to disillusioned adulthood, and leaves her in control of her life--although that life isn't exactly picture perfect. Lucy breaks from family traditions when she leaves for college, and her friendship with well-to-do Carolyn Ward throws her into a tempestuous relationship with Carolyn's stepfather, Ben. Lucy's life spirals out of control until her family is touched by tragedy; then she is forced to take control of her destiny for the first time. Just shy of being melodramatic, the novel uses powerful language and intelligent imagery to communicate Lucy's evolution. The book seems somewhat autobiographical and is very effective, although there are a few loose ends--perhaps another comment on how life can be.-- Heidi Schwartz, ``Business Interiors,'' Red Bank, N . J .

I thought this was a very interesting novel. It deals with a young girl lucy growing into a young woman. Lucy goes off to college and there she meets her new room mate carolyn ward. Carolyn takes her on a walk of sexual awaking. The two gets a taste of each other, and there things start to get a little weird. Lucy then begins a relationship with carolyn's stepfather, and while all of this is happening lucy, must deal with and over over all of her family issues. I think you will enjoy this book. It is this author's first novel. And i think she did a pretty good job.

Lebanese troops began deploying in Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold Monday under an agreement with the Shiite militant group that will see the army assume control of checkpoints in the area.
The deployment of approximately 800 security personnel began on Monday afternoon, with the troops taking over checkpoints set up by Hezbollah.
It was a rare visible deployment by the army in a bastion of the militant group, which usually controls its own security with a tight grip.
An AFP journalist at the scene said the deployment was taking place in stages, with Hezbollah members still visible at some checkpoints on side streets in late afternoon.
The security points were established after two car bombings in the southern suburbs, which wounded more than 50 people on July 9 and killed 27 on August 15.
Following the bombings, Hezbollah turned the southern suburbs into a fortress with guards in civilian clothes policing the streets, stopping and searching cars, and asking motorists for their identity cards.
Hezbollah had always kept a tight grip on the area but it had not previously been so visible, and the checkpoints reinforced allegations that the group was functioning as a "state within a state."
Earlier this month, tensions over the security points led to a clash with Palestinian refugees that left one dead and four injured.
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel told AFP that after the deployment by the army, "no one else will be authorised to be present at the checkpoints."
"The state must extend its control over all Lebanese territory," he said.
Charbel toured the southern suburbs as the deployment began on Monday and stressed that it was being carried out "with coordination between the state and all parties."
Hezbollah has said that it backs the deployment and will ensure it proceeds smoothly.
Analyst Paul Salem, director of the Carnegie Middle East Centre, described the deployment as "positive," but said Hezbollah will retain control over security decisions that affect it.
"It takes decisions on major security matters in the country without consultation... and it is an independent strategic player and moves without regard for the will of the state or Lebanese public opinion," he said.

If i comment out the code line
it works just fine (as in, displays my info with user_profile). I've tried reading over the page that tells you how to use the comments https://developers.facebook.com/docs...ject/comments/and i do - it just doesn't seem to want to work?Code:/*$comment = $facebook->api('/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/comments', 'POST', array( 'access_token' => $access_token, 'message' => 'testing!' ) );*/
Using the graph API i was able to do the same thing i am trying to do via PHP so i know it works since it returns a json ID and when i refresh the page i see the "testing" comment...:
And what makes it more odd is that, i can use the above code to comment on just a comment that doesnt have an image posted... But if i am commenting on a image that was posted then i get that error???!?!?!?
I use this code to sussesfully post to a non-image post (as in, just someone posting text). Where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the post ID and yyyyyyyyyyyyyy is the users ID who posted the comment that i am posting my comment to.
